This feature may be useful when trying to align the object with other elements or with graphically displayed sound.
When grabbing an object at the front or end, holding the mouse button and pressing one of the Cursor keys (left/right), the object is moved pixel by pixel.
Methods for exact alignment can be found under Snapping to objects and Aligning objects.
Simply mark the required objects and shift them with the mouse. There are various ways of highlighting a number of objects. See Marking objects.
When you grab the edge of the info line with the mouse, the mouse pointer jumps to the exact beginning or end. This feature may be useful when trying to align various objects.
Several highlighted objects can only be shifted in time, they cannot be jointly moved into other tracks.
Make sure you try out the magnetic Locator available in function Snap to objects. In many cases, this the easier and simpler way. See Snapping to objects.
It is also possible to shift the whole content of a timeline from the Locator position. See Shifting timeline contents from Locator.
When objects cannot be shifted any more, they may have got "jammed". Use function Check project to find jammed objects and remedy the fault. See Checking a project.
When editing objects you can also shift along later objects or objects to the right of the Locator. Function Shift following objects can be used for shifting objects but also for shifting dissolves and for adjusting the right object edge.
In the tool bar click 
Shift following objects.(shortcut via the Q key). By shifting an object, a dissolve or the right object edge (... the mouse pointer is provided with an additional symbol as an indication for this mode) all objects in this track located to the right are shifted along. By marking additional tracks the objects in these tracks can also be shifted along. See Marking tracks.
Click Shift following objects once again or press the Q key to deactivate this shifting mode. Enable the tool only temporarily and you need not disable it again: Hold the Q key down, shift the object and let go of the Q key again.
Under Global Options – Objects you can choose whether those objects which are located at the height of the Locator are to be shifted along.
Shifting grouped objects or locked objects to the right of the Locator may result in collisions with other objects. In this case shifting is blocked.
When objects cannot be shifted any more, they may have got "jammed". Use function Check project to find jammed objects and remedy the fault. See Checking a project.
Object times can also be edited numerically in the Properties Table. It is also possible to add or subtract values which facilitates entries. Example: If an object is to be extended by exactly two and a half seconds it will do to enter +2.5 next to the existing duration.
